I just want you to know that we bought our Tiburon Woodmode cabinets from Ken and Mary Ryan in Novato at Kitchens by Ken Ryan, Inc. Ken and Mary run their family business together and take great pride in making sure every single detail is well thought out.

They have gone above and beyond in every possible way, and I highly recommend them.

They worked well with our contractor to ensure that our cabinet order was correct. The cabinets came on time (actually a few days EARLY). The cabinets arrived in perfect condition. Ken also let me borrow a cabinet door and several counter samples (LOTS of counter samples). Ken and Mary are both super organized. They are both delightful, responsive, helpful and totally dedicated to making sure the job is done right. They answer emails and questions immediately and Ken made a few site visits to be sure everything was just as it should be.

Ken was a contractor and/or cabinet maker prior to starting Kitchens by Ken Ryan. He totally understands about cabinet design and installation. Mary takes care of all the orders and administration and the process was seamless.

Thank you again for all of your help with my kitchen. The cabinets are gorgeous!

I came to you after stumbling into an unexpected remodel during one of Marin’s wettest winters on record. Running multiple unfamiliar projects simultaneously was daunting to say the least (more like weeping every day :-).

I couldn’t have gotten through the kitchen without your calm and organized process. You kept me on track and moving quickly through what could have been an endless series of decisions. Since I tend to deliberate too much, your structure really helped me move through much more quickly than I would have otherwise.

I appreciated your direct candor and significant knowledge about all the products. Everything you recommended works perfectly. I also appreciated the seamless collaboration with Gold Hammer. When issues came up, you always worked things out directly with them and I never had to get in the middle, which was so helpful.

I look forward to having you over when things are done. The window wall in particular is stunning, and I now have what I think is one of the prettiest places in Marin to wash dishes!

This thank you is long overdue but no less heartfelt.
As we come up to our second year anniversary in our new kitchen, we have to tell you how much we love being in the beautiful, functional workspace that you gave us. From start to finish (and beyond) you held our hands and guided us through what could have been a very stressful process and we have nothing but happy memories thanks to you. The contractor and his team were a joy to work with and the project was completed on time and within the projected budget. Also, your keen foresight helped us recently when you told us we could replace our ailing refrigerator with a more standard size as you had thoroughly (and artfully) designed the refrigerator cabinet with a future replacement in mind.

We basically live in our kitchen, so on a daily basis we still stop and marvel at the wonderful gift you helped us create.

Ramon came yesterday and finished everything!! Hooray!! We LOVE our new kitchen!!! Thank you so much for all your help in designing and ordering all our kitchen cabinets and trim, plus suggesting all the places to get everything else. Your knowledge and experience made it all easy. It Is ALL amazing! The Brookhaven cabinets are very nice and well made, and the custom cabinets are great!! Love having all the extra space under the sink! And the spice cabinet is perfect!! Great use of that small space, and how you designed the sides work very well.

We love the 3cm granite. The finished edge is such a clean look. And your granite “A” team could not have been better!!!!! They were beyond amazing. The templates they made were the perfect sizes, because once the stone was cut and finished, it went right into the spaces exactly, including the difficult window box area. Believe it or not, we only have one seam in the entire kitchen, just to the right of the sink! They were able to use big slabs for everywhere else. I cannot say enough about how great they were.

Appreciate everything. You will both have to come over soon to see the finished kitchen!!

Have a happy Easter and again our gratitude for your help in getting us this amazing kitchen!
